The typical scenario for a dry socket is the occurrence of throbbing pain[1] about two to four days after a tooth is extracted. Dry socket pain[2] is often accompanied by bad breath[3] and a foul taste in the mouth. With this onset of pain, it is evident that proper healing has been interrupted.

A dry socket is a condition with inflammation of the jawbone (or alveolar bone) after tooth extraction. It is also referred to as "alveolar osteitis" and is one of the many complications that can occur from a tooth extraction.
